New in! Like the subtitle, this book, written by a medical doctor who is, more importantly, a committed member of the British Society for Ecological Medicine, is a clarion call for a new approach to nutrition and healthy eating. It is rooted in the need for flexible and responsive eating patterns that take into account the needs of the planet as well as the changing needs of the human body as we move through the seasons of the year, as well as the seasons of our lives.

With a chapter on each season, each one replete with really helpful case studies, and then a chapter dedicated to how our needs change as we grow older, and a final one on toxicity and detoxification, this book educates and encourages us whilst helping us to see how we can best tailor our diets to the world of today and to particular challenges that we may face at different times in our lives and in different parts of the world.

There is also lots of practical information, references to other good books and above all ,a sensible attitude to the subject that is both refreshing and demystifying - Dr. Goodman's years of experience translate into a steady, clear voice that make it seem possible for us to get well and stay well, indeed to stay alive, and thrive, in the difficult and toxic times that are modern life for most of us on planet Earth.
